Happy Tots House

Part of our family

Danusha is such a special person in our daughter’s life — more than a childcare provider, she has truly become part of our extended family. She is incredibly sweet, kind, gentle and dedicated, and the children in her care absolutely light up when they see her.

Danusha brings a rare combination of compassion and wisdom, with a deep understanding of child psychology and development. She notices the little things that make each child unique and supports them in ways that help them grow into confident, happy individuals. She works her absolute socks off, providing what can only be described as exceptional care — each day full of exploration, learning, and fun.

She has also been such a huge support to us as parents, often stepping in to help with babysitting when we’ve needed it, always with such generosity and good grace. Her advice and insights have been invaluable, whether it’s navigating tricky moments in toddler development or celebrating little milestones together.

Our daughter has thrived under Danusha’s care. She heads off each morning full of excitement for the day ahead — whether it’s playgroups, park adventures, music sessions, or exploring local gems like Chiswick House or Kew Gardens. Whatever the weather, Danusha ensures the children have rich, varied, and active days that nurture both body and mind.

We also treasure the regular updates and photos she sends, capturing those joyful moments we would otherwise miss. They’re a wonderful reminder of the love and energy she puts into her work every single day.

I honestly couldn’t recommend Danusha more highly. We feel so fortunate to have her care for our daughter and to share in these precious early years together.

Best decision we ever made! Brilliant childminder

Danusha, started looking after our first child, six years ago, followed by our second, a couple of years later.

In that time Danu and Happy Tots House has become so much more than a childminder. She has become a much loved member of our family and we cannot recommend her highly enough. It is no exaggeration to say that we count having chosen to put our children in her care as one of the best decisions and biggest blessings of our lives.

Danu’s commitment, care, compassion and creativity are all outstanding. She develops a wonderful range of activities designed to ignite children’s passions, to educate and inspire them, preparing them in a fun and dynamic way for every transition, building confidence and new skills - an incredible Early Years Foundation for your child.

Every day of the week Danu had our two children out in the fresh air enjoying all of the wonderful local parks, Kew Gardens, Gunnersbury Park, Dukes Meadows, with fun and educational trips further afield including Battersea Zoo, the London Transport Museum and the local fire station (a huge hit with our young son!) In the afternoons ‘school time’ prepared them with the basic foundations of forming letters and numbers - a super segue to school.

Danu’s care reflects the importance she places on building a relationship with you and with your family.

I’m in no doubt that this is why even though my children have now been in school for four and one year respectively, they still cannot wait to go back to Danu in the holidays. They know that she is still their biggest champion and will always celebrate their achievements with a genuine delight for them as human beings.

Simply the best!

Danu is simply the best. Our son was with her from the age of 14 months until 2.5 when we moved out of the area. She is kind, attentive, passionate about childcare, organised and loving. My son absolutely adored her and still does; she will always be such an important part of our family life. Her compassion and care gave my son so much confidence and meant that when the time came for nursery we had absolutely no issues settling him in. I couldn’t recommend Danu more highly, she is a wonderful childminder and exceeds expectations in every single category.

Wonderful childminder

Danu has been an incredible childminder for both my children since their earliest years – my son was just eight months old when she came into our lives. Danu is wonderful, caring, loving and very creative - always looking for ways to stimulate the children and help them grow through experiences. Danu goes above and beyond by organising social events for the families, which has created a strong sense of community and resulted in wonderful friendships among the parents. Danu has become more than just a childminder; she's family and we remain incredibly grateful for her exceptional care, even now as she continues to babysit.

Amazing, caring childminder

Danu is a kind-hearted and sweet young woman. She is both patient and playful with the children; ensures their safety and happiness at all times; makes sure that they eat healthy yet delicious food; and she is communicative with parents and children in ways that are best suited for them. Additionally, I have noticed that she pays attention to each child’s individual needs. Could not recommend a better childminder. Keep up the outstanding work, Danu!
